Default Cosmetic surgery for a stairs

Hi All,

We are looking to give a stairs a facelift. We have a stairs that was
covered by soiled carpet that runs from the back of our Kitchen down a
narrow hall to the back garden. Its the only part of our massonette
that's covered by carpet and we had hoped for a wooded stairs
underneath that we could sand. However after removing the carpet we
discovered a hodge podge of cracked wooden steps and a few concrete
steps near the bottom. Also the risers aren't in great shape. It
looks like any spare bits of wood was used to create the risers, and in
places they have rectangular pieces of laminate tiles stuck to them
which the tackless strips where glued or nailed to.

Anyway in its current state we can't sand and refurbish the stairs, we
dont want to install a new stairs and we would prefer not to re-carpet
it. So is there anything that we could stick over the current wooden
and concert steps and Risers that would give it a face lift other that
carpet.
