Hi no short answer to that one unless you source the kit yourself and just go in for the labour all garages charge different rates so I would be guessing at the price.

Have you shopped around - main dealers, independents and trusted local garages in your area Andrew? 
I mention main dealers, since they sometimes have offers on such jobs. If so - personal opinion- avoid the free MOT gimmick! 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Worth bearing in mind Andrew, this certainly isn’t the job where cost is King. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

p.s. Just as an aside - a family member had the belt assembly renewed on his non-Audi using a water-pump-included kit from a well respected aftermarket supplier, starting with D. Just had to have the water pump ( and belt, Incase) replaced after 6K miles due to a failing bearing. No, the belt wasn’t overtensioned. 
I always recommend using a main dealer pump for peace of mind even though dearer in the short term. I respect that opinions on this may vary on this.
