How do we repair these Concrete Stairs?

The previous owners coated our front porch with this epoxy finish, which didn't work well with the frost. As you can see, the base has cracked and the stairs are sinking. We had to remove the railings as they were starting to twist. We are thinking about completely removing the stairs and building a wooden deck/ stairs over top of the existing deck to avoid having to scrape off all of the epoxy. Would that be the best way to fix this? Would we just pour a new cement base and anchor the wooden stairs into it? I was quoted $4500 to replace the stairs and another $2000 to scrape the finish off of the porch by a contractor, but that's too much for my budget. Halp!
