Stair renovation

[fosi]

Hello! This might be in the wrong category, but I'll try here!

I'm renovating my villa and have sorted out most of the details; now the staircase renovation remains.

My wife has decided that she wants us to renovate the staircase by painting it in a darker color, but there are damages on the existing steps (oak).

We looked into buying new steps to install, but first and foremost it seems extremely expensive; in the best-case scenario, we found steps for 1000 each, which feels unnecessary since we just want to sand them down and paint the entire staircase.

What would you do? I'm attaching pictures in the thread.

When I talked about stair renovation before covering painting with Colorama, I received a tip that if you want to build up a damaged edge on the stair nose, products like Plastic padding are most suitable. For smaller dents and minor damage further in on the step that are not as exposed, regular wood filler works fine.

If you are going to paint the staircase with covering paint, you can fill it with suitable filler. If you are going to oil or stain the staircase, it won't be good with filler. If it is a solid wooden staircase, I would sand down the entire step and preferably the whole staircase to get the same color throughout. I would contact and talk to a flooring company that has veneer in a close color used in renovations, maybe you can buy a veneer board from them. A fine carpentry shop can surely provide the right material too.
I personally used a fine carpentry shop that manufactured each step with a stair machine in solid oak, U-staircase, it was cheaper than a renovation set, installed and finished.

If you are going to paint the stairs with cover paint, you can use suitable filler. If you plan to oil or stain the stairs, filler won't work well. If it's a solid wood staircase, I would sand down the entire step and preferably the entire staircase to achieve a uniform color. I would contact and talk to a flooring company that has veneer in a similar color used in renovations; maybe you can buy a veneer sheet from them. A fine carpentry workshop can also certainly provide the right material.

The idea is to paint the stairs, I'll talk to a company that can point me in the right direction - but now I feel that it's possible anyway. Thanks for the help.
