have a step of 6mm or so which I am anticipating will be obvious.

Can anyone think of a way to deal with this that is fairly

I am not sure what would be suitable.

Even small variations in step heights are a safety problem. Best go
with 3mm hardboard, and if that seems too thin, replace or turn over
any badly damaged boards.
