what engine is it and i would change the pump while the belt is off if the bearings collapse then it will cease and the belt will break, pumps are around 15 - 30 quid

True, you should replace the water pump, idler pullys and timing belt. If one of those items fails then you will need a new engine. So best to do the lots as it costs a lot less
