Yes, it's worn out and ugly! I was thinking about how I can renovate it?
 
Is it as worn as I think it mostly looks dirty? I would just scrub it clean. I think it's made of concrete.
 
A concrete staircase. Start with a pressure washer and some patience. It won't turn into marble, but it will be clean. The same goes for the tiles.
Then you might consider painting with different types of paint; the paint store can recommend suitable types. Or you let it stay natural and wash it every three years.
Covering the staircase with something is likely to only create future problems.
A freshly painted basement door also makes a big difference.

Have you considered putting a roof over it?
 
I should not have painted it. It will look ugly when the paint peels and be a hassle to maintain when you have to repaint.

Check and clear the drain down there first. If it's the same as in my previous, old house, that drain was really bad. I washed the stairs in stages so that the drain gradually took the water.

I also recommend washing only occasionally. Stairs like these tend to get muggy as sunlight doesn't reach down the stairs.

Weber rep 995 can be an option.
But of course, it must be pressure washed first.
