Default Front Brake Rattle

This is now doing my head in! Audi removed and refurbished the caliper, put it all together and it seemed ok. Due to health I haven't really driven it but yesterday I went for a drive and there is a rattle from the same caliper when going over an uneven road. If I apply the brakes, it stops. This rules out the shield (which I have checked).

Could this be pads not seated correctly or the caliper pistons causing issues? I will call them tomorrow but I would rather have sorted it myself if it was a quick job rather than booking it in etc. Perhaps the pads need some anti-seize or anti-rattle lube if there is such a thing?
