You need to give the specific type of car, and hopefully the engine model.
When you say repair a timing belt. I don't believe anyone repairs timing belts. They are simply removed and replaced. However if you waited too long and you let your timing belt break, you need to know if your engine is an interference fit engine or a non-interference fit engine. If your engine is and interference fit engine (most Hondas) then it is highly likely that you have valve damage. If your engine is a non-interference fit engine (most older Toyotas) then simply replacing the timing belt may fix your problem.
Difference in cost is huge. An interference fit engine needs to have it's valves replaced and could cost between $1500-$2000. A non-interference fit engine would simply need to have it's belt replaced and retimed, about $300-$400

Depends on the car.
Water pump is usually replaced too..
Maybe as little as $425 or as much as $800
