Maybe I'm missing something, but that looks like it should be built of brick (whatever the correct sort is considering water penetrating,weight etc.). Then you cap the steps in a paving stone of your choice.
So yeah, smash it out and build a new one out of brick, render/paint, pave.
Given there could be supporting elements in relation to the wall I'd probably pay someone. But then it might be one of those jobs no one wants to do because they can make more and easier money building rear extensions.
Are you within @ColinTheBald 's geographical reach? Looks like the sort of thing he could do along with paving the bottom.
If you've got young kids something you should really consider is whether a slide can be added to the left at the same time. It would be such a cool feature and make them less likely to fuck themselves running down the stairs.
