Do it yourself or get a good independent to do it...rates are usually around £45-60 per hour....not sure why main dealers charge so much....just a rip-off.
You shouldn't need to change the tensioner unless you suspect it's stuck or worn out (should rotate freely without any play). Belts on eBay appear to start at around £20.
you would be absolutely staggered if you knew all the costs involved with running a main dealer ...
