Concrete stairs can take a beating over time—cracking, chipping, and wearing down from weather and daily use. These flaws aren't just unappealing; they create hazards that increase the risk of slips, trips, and falls. Fortunately, with the right tools and techniques, repairing and improving concrete stairs is a project within reach. This guide walks you through repairing damaged concrete with NU-STAIR™ and adding traction using GARON TRED™.
Step 1: Inspect the Stair Damage
Start by evaluating the condition of your stairs. Are the edges crumbling? Are there cracks, surface spalls, or uneven areas? NU-STAIR™ is designed for patching and rebuilding worn concrete steps quickly and effectively.
Step 2: Clean & Prep the Area
Remove all loose concrete, dust, and contaminants. Use a chisel, grinder, or wire brush to get down to solid material. The surface must be clean and dry for NU-STAIR™ to adhere properly.
Step 3: Apply NU-STAIR™
Mix NU-STAIR™ as instructed, then apply with a trowel to fill cracks, rebuild step edges, or resurface worn treads. Smooth the surface and feather edges to create a uniform finish. Allow the product to cure according to the label for long-lasting durability.
Step 4: Add Traction with GARON TRED™
Once the stairs are fully repaired and cured, improve their safety with GARON TRED™, a heavy-duty, anti-slip epoxy coating. Apply it with a roller or brush to the stair treads. Its textured finish provides critical grip—ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Step 5: Let the Products Set
Allow GARON TRED™ to cure completely before using the stairs. This ensures maximum adhesion and slip resistance.
Your Go-To Stair Solution
When stairs break down, you don’t have to replace them—restore them. Using NU-STAIR™ for repair and GARON TRED™ for traction gives you a durable, safe surface that’s built to last. These solutions don’t just patch the problem—they prevent future damage and help you maintain safe, functional access for years to come.
