Ugh! Sounds like the pump was already dodgy and the pulley already scoring a groove into the timing cover (that's what the engine needs to come out to replace, not possible in-situ). A broken belt can wrap around a waterpump pulley and cause all sorts of havoc but to get through the cover it probably had to be wobbly in the first place. Just realized I'm assuming 4-cyl here, because it fits.
Not cool, you have my sympathies! I thought the price tag sounded high but then I realized you'd need another pump and serpentine items (pullies, etc). If it's a dealer and they just added a pump job + a serp belt job + timing R&R, there could be some labor overlap to appeal. Is the estimate assuming any other dmamge?
Good luck!
