It's grim dirty and fiddly, the actual paint doesn't need to be special - standard oil eggshell will suffice [probably be the most sympathetic to what it's going on to], but the detail of preparation to get a wow finish is hard - they take a lot of punishment even and especially if covered for years (residues tack holes brittle over layed paint not to mention caulking)

I’d probably go with Leyland hard wearing eggshell over Leyland primer. The cheapest option would be primer only and that’s what I’ve had on my workshop stairs for years.

Another paint question though - I removed the carpet from my stairs, and discovered they’ve been painted wood at some point. I might just repaint, although possibly temporarily. What’s good but not crazy ££ floor/stairs paint that isn’t going to just get trashed. White, as not glossy as poss. Thank you
