oh dear thinks you need a bag of self levelling flooring you pour on
This is your front door , so its the first thing people see when they come in your home . Go with something else . That being said , the entryway needs to be cleaned up and level. I'd go with ceramic tile since its a small area, it will be affordable. It's durable and easy to easy to clean up . Just make sure to seal the grout after the installation .
I wouldn't Chip Away anymore.
You can just add more drywall mud and let it cure for 24 hours sand it down so it's level that would be your easiest option( that's what you had and it's lasted this long. some people might not agree). option 2 is Chip it all out and pour self-leveling concrete.
Installing tile or a hardwood floor in the long run is easier than the vinyl.
Hardwood floor is warm and inviting And give your house and more natural look not as durable though as tile.
Tile that looks like wood is very durable it depends the area you live in can be kind of cold but if we're only talking to entry you might want to look at some tile.
The first thing you need is a Self-Leveling Underlayment. It ais an easy-to-use, cement-based underlayment that self levels. Just mix it with water, pour and spread. The underlayment is excellent for smoothing and flattening interior surfaces before installing floor coverings. Use over concrete, wood, tile, terrazzo and cut back adhesive.
