Default bay tree damage from frost

Anyone else experiencing as lot of frost damage to large bay trees )i.e.
30 foot mature trees)
Any ideas about actions to take? Looks like there just might be some new
growth starting on some branches but generally tree looks very affected
with dark green/brown leaves etc. Not sure what to suggest to the owner
as i don't have any experience of such large trees but looking around
the district there are quite a few full sized bay trees that have been
similarly affected.

As the others have implied, there is almost no chance of it being
damaged beyond recovery - just wait and see what the real damage is
and then take the opportunity to tidy up, prune and reshape to taste.
