If you pay for a "set-up" they can easily change the nut and saddle and adjust the action. You do it by carefully filing down the bottom of the saddle - and sometimes filing down the slots in the nut (special files). Set-ups where I used to work were $50. plus any materials. (probably more now) You can look at www.stewmac.com for prices on the parts.

I've been building guitars since 1987, but not really professionally. I have given some away, and sold some. If I were to do the job you discribe I would want around fifty dollars. It is not a difficult job for a luthier.

Prices are NOT the same in every city in the world.
You are asking on Yahoo!, a website that is "around the world," we don't know how much something costs in the city where you live!
Go to a guitar store and ask.
