Flat roof replacement

I need advice on flat roof replacement. A cowboy builder built a fibre glass flat roof with Velux window and incorrect slope about 6 months ago. The problem I am having with the roof is minor leaking especially around eaves and Velux due to incorrect slope and job was done poorly.

Recently a roofer suggest following:

Option 1: Rip off existing roof, correct slope and change Velux window to roof dome and redo fibre glass.

Option 2: . Re do a new structure
timber deck roof to 15 degrees
pitch roof. Apply 18mm osb
board and GRP fibreglass
system with a top coat in grey.
Sides of the extension timber
deck it and supply a plastic fascia
board

Which option would be better? Can someone please advise me?
