I posted the thread below to the 'Lawns' forum section but so far no reply. I am in Oxford, UK and most of the banter from lawn experts seems to be focused on the US fraternity. Can anyone please help?

Can any of you good experts please, please share some of your lawn recovery experience with me ?!

My new 6 week old turf lawn which is not recovering despite laying, watering and mowing exactly as recommended by the UK renowned turf supplier Rowlawn. Except, .....I made one big mistake.......... I went on holiday! In those 2 weeks it rained a lot and grew too long (6"). When it was cut back all the lush green grass disappeared and I am now left with a thin, sparse and dead looking lawn. In the last 2 weeks since that it has showed little signs of recovering. Am I being too impatient and it will recover as Rowlawn say?

This is all explained in depth in the URL link above to my original thread. The pictures below give a good indication of the issue. Your help is much needed and appreciated. Many thanks, Puppilup.
