I have found this a few times, the clutch flexi pipe can swell and not return fully to allow the pedal to fully return.

However, it is not always this, the Clutch slave cylinder can also stick causing issues.

I would try getting a Braided hose first and see how you go with that.

I am in Barnstaple if u need any help with it.

There should be a return spring fitted to the clutch fork & if this is missing it would cause the problem you are experiencing.

If you lean over the passenger side front wing and look below the intercooler you will see the clutch slave cyl bolted to the gearbox with the top of the clutch fork poking through a large rubber grommet just in front of it.

At the top of this arm you should find that there is a square rubber damper bolted to it. There should be a spring fitted between the damper and a small bracket located at the point that the gearbox meets the engine.
