Mechanic put break pads on wrong way damaging my disk, and dosen't want to replace it.

Handed my 2013 mazda 6 2.5 petrol in for a wheel bearing, got it back, horrible noise from the breaks. Drove it for like 10 min and took it back to the shop and saw that the pads were the wrong way around and that there were some pretty bad marks on the disks.

Mechanic turned the pads back again but says they don't need replacing, and that the disk is only cosmetically damaged, similar to what a rock would do.

Do i need new disks?

Edit: thanks to everyone who have replied, i've reached out to a friend who's a mechanic and he will take a look at it.

A lot of people are claiming i did this myself, but this was 570USD for a wheel bearing at one of the "better" dealers in town.
