Default Squealing noise

My pass side brakes seem to squeak, not sure if it front or rear but when I apply the brakes it stops. Worried if it might be callipers? I am sure this only happened after I let my friend borrow the car

Could be a small stone/chipping stuck between caliper and brake disc ?

Car is in the garage at present for checkup. The rear pass brake was getting hot and their was a slight burning smell dreading if it’s calliper. Any ideas guys what the best option is if it s the calliper? I see they do the repair kits. Has anyone repaired theirs or can someone recommend a decent refurb place.
Thanks

Don’t dread a calliper, a refurb with motor is ~£200 form carparts4less with a refundable surcharge when you send your old one back, there are many more expensive parts than this

Garage checked it over. They could not find the fault but noticed the disc is reddish in colour. Now I was planning on possibly refurbishing my two rear callipers. Need guidance howto take them off. Would I need VCDS to release them? Also anybody heard of biggred refurbishing company?
