Touch up concrete stairs

[Zorro03]

Hello everyone!
Does anyone have suggestions on how we could spruce up our basement stairs (see pictures)?
Sand?
Paint?
Plaster?
Other?
Regards

Good thread as I am in the same situation. Hope more people will come with suggestions.

Wash

I have used a pressure washer at a very close range, so I would like to say that it is washed. Or were you thinking about something else?
Best regards

You can acid wash the stairs and get a nice surface!
Or sand all the concrete and treat it with a suitable product.

You can also dress it with some stone product, there are some variants at for example https://www.flisbyab.se/typ/stentrappor/trappbekladnad

Thanks for the tips, I'm leaning towards sanding.
What would you treat it with afterwards or should you leave it untreated to avoid maintenance?

Thanks for the tip, it might be something for the steps. I would also like to fix the sides.

We placed their thin (12mm) slate on our entrance steps in Danish terrazzo. We are very pleased. If you're going to paint on concrete, silicate paint is preferred.

I would probably paint the walls and maybe some epoxy resin with sand in it for the steps.

Painting the walls I probably would have done and maybe some epoxy compound with sand for the steps.

"Epoxy compound with sand," are you thinking of something like this then:

Anyone who has tried Hagmans products?

I had these guys renovate our entrance stairs. https://www.betongtrappa.se/ It worked well and feels like a sustainable system.

Sometimes things take a little longer than planned, but now it’s done
Tore away the garbage room and bricked up and plastered.
Cleaned with the pressure washer and painted with silicate paint (hope it lasts a while).
Painted the well and new doorstop.
Cast a new door plinth, new door, new lamp.
Painted railing and removed the lawn and laid gravel with slabs.
Also made a small flower bed.

How has the paint held up; is it lasting? I'm just starting to plan a renovation this spring.

Looks decent still.
