Had 2 new rear cylinders and shoes fitted over a week ago and was told to take it easy for a bit until they bed in.They wernt bloody wrong lol pedal is very soft and takes some hard pressing to get the car so slow down.

Any idea how long they take to bed in?

Take it back and get it checked, is the fluid level ok, were they ok when the shoes were fitted and now worse? or bad from the start.might not be adjusted right or could be leak at new cylinder.
