Cost to fix loft hatch

What sort of cost am I looking at to fix a badly installed loft ladder? I think the hole has been cut in the wrong place and it's too wide, so there's a large wooden frame to cover the gap in the ceiling.

"Hello
If you just filling the remaining gap would be around £200 including materials and colour matching paint.
If you need to relocate the hatch the costs can go up to £450 including materials.
Hope it helps!"
