748R Rear brake? Not any longer...

Went out today to blow the cobwebs off and when I stopped I noticed brake fluid dripping from the rear caliper

It would appear that the rear caliper piston seal on one side had burst and not only had the piston melted on to what was left of the pad (are the pistons ceramic or plastic?) but also one half of the caliper had ground it self on the rear disc.

Problem I now have is a) shagged caliper b) shagged disc and c) shagged pads

Before I shell out on a new Brembo rear caliper, disc and pads, are there any other better options available that will not require me to sell a kidney to buy?

Any info (or offers of said Brembo caliper) gratefully received!

PS. The brake fluid has also left marks on my Marchesini wheels. My wife couldn't see them and told me I was being anal, but now I now they are there...
