One way of doing this, is calling one of UITableView's delegate

    - (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    {
        return some-height;
    }

or Amit answered this a good while back with this:

self.tableView.tableHeaderView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 30)];

Thanks Thomas,

adding Amit's provided code helps with iOS7, but it also moves a table in iOS6 bit down. Is there any workaround so it would be ok on iOS6 and 7?

Got a working workaround. In viewDidLoad

you need to insert Amit's provided code between if statement, where you check if your iOS version is 7.0 or greater. So it looks like this:

if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7.0f){
   self.tableView.tableHeaderView = [[UIView alloc] 
      initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 20)];
}

This Helps to not mess with iOS 6
