Default granite worktops

OK, new kitchen is nice but the only thing spoiling it is the laminate corner joint right next to the sink, which is starting to fail already. It is impossible not to get pools of water there and not even a perfect joint can survive standing water for long.
So we a looking to replace the worktops already. Granite is the obvious thing.
Worktop to be replaced is an L shape 3m x 2.5m, tiled with 5mm sealant joint. New worktops plus any underlay such as ply must total 40mm to meet up with the tiles.
Cutouts for a job and a sink (I'm don't care about an under-slung sink and drainage grooves).
Now, granite worktops seem to have a large scope of quality (re-inforced around cutouts or not etc.) and prices, thus rip-off merchants abound.

Anyway, about how much should I be paying for the granite worktop described above, obviously templated and fitted by them ?
