I have had my stairs bare for over a year now due to other work going on (slowly) in the rest of the house. Two of the treads (I think that is what they're called) have split where they overhang the riser. Can I replace these or will I just have to make do with a damaged staircase?

without pics its hard to see the best repair. But i would guess at buying some 18mm plywood and cutting some to fit over the top of the broken tread.
unfortunatly its a wee bit more difficult than mattys sugestion because all stairs must be equal in tread and riser now you think its going to be coverd so no one will notice!!
the point is it will be a trip hazard because your brain sences the first and second tread and workes to that span so odd steps are a trip hazard
now iff its the bottom 2 your ok because you brain will over clear the step rather than kick the nose
is underneath off your steps open!!
what wood and what thickness are your treads!!
I think some pics maybe useful here, will post some later or tomorrow.
