It’s never “just a re-gas”.
Correct. A/C systems can be a complete money pit if someone who doesn't know what they're doing has had a crack at fixing it. So many compressors have died on my previous cars due to past cack-handedness.
@Fox get a reputable Honda place to look at if you can. At minimum and hour of labour will be ~£90-£120 and gas could be another £50 (R-134a). If the seals are gone in the system those numbers only go up.
Aroogah-
I'm presuming that as he was told that by the garage they would have checked the seals/pressure, but the obvious question is why they didn't re-gas it there and then, presumably most garages can do R-134A.
He tells me it was working OK before and I trust him on that but that doesn't mean it just needs a re-gas of course...

yeah, we had someone 'fix' our air con last year, was £60, it worked for the remaining 2 months of summer we needed it, when we tried to turn on aircon back in april this year.. nothing happened.
When it stopped working last year you could hear it 'try' but air didnt get any colder, now when you hit the button absolutely nothing changes so we are convinced they did more damage than good, and pretty reluctant to spend money on fixing it on a car thats worth £0
