I'd call a spiral staircase expert.

Something may be putting stress on the joints and causing the crack.
That's quite a gap.

Someone leans quite heavily on the handrail...

I wouldn't see any need for calling in a "spiral staircase" expert...

"Someone leans quite heavily on the handrail..."

And you know that how?

I wouldn't see any need for calling in a "spiral staircase"
expert...

So who would you call? And if the OP has to call -someone- why *not* a
"spiral staircase" expert?

I've got friends who weld for a living, but I'm not sure I'd just call
them and say "tack this back together for me". I think I'd want to
know why it cracked in the first place. Could be any installation
issue, could be a settling in the building, etc. I'd want to know the
root cause of the crack - even if it was just someone leaning heavily
on the handrail, which I assume the OP would be aware of.
