The problem is that the H2O pump is driven by the timing belt. There realy shouldn't be much if any extra labor involved to change the pump, but if you don't and it goes out next week then you will have to remove the timing belt again to replace the pump. In fact, around here most timing belt kits come with the pump included.
I checked with my local Honda dealership and they quoted me around $1,350. Ouch.

I have 2001 Honda Accord EX-L (V6). I was quoted $125 by a local mobile mechanic, which was $25 for the belts and $100 for an hour labor. However I ended up taking it over to Midas. They were able to change it right away. I took a little over an hour and the price came to $205. I live in Honolulu, Hi., where labor prices are kind of high, so YMMV.
Honda Dealer quoted me $69.99 when I went in for my 50,000mile oil change telling me I'm overdue for coolant change, because you should do it every 30,000miles.

For a benchmark, the rear wheel bearing for my 1991 Honda Accord was quoted by a local mechanic at $232 and by a national auto repair chain at $272, parts and labor included. The nat'l chain said that was $197 for parts and $45 for labor. (Nov 2008).
