sorry old topic..got too busy i totally forgotten about it until i saw the crack yesterday..

the cracks gotten bigger, but not much probably 0.5mm or so...
how to check whether its plaster or concrete ? actually i think i cannot differentiate both of them...

anyone have good contractor ? i want to fix the cracks in my house, cos i dont like to see it..

those filler i bought from ace hardware, will crack again after 1-2 months or so..

U have to check whether there's displacement on both sides of the crack. If there's displacement even for 1mm, the stairs is not stable and will collapse! if not, treat it like hairline crack. Since each time u walk on the stairs, there's going to be vibration, solid filler may not work for your case, as the line will reappear. U can try mixing silicone base filler with cement (or some flexible filler), and fill the gap accordingly, it will work.
