The DIY guru explained that she had removed the carpet from her stairs because of wear, choosing to exchange it for something easier to maintain.

Next to the pictures before and after, she wrote: "My stairs of £ 65. I had to lift my old carpet (3 children and a dog so that it does not last long).

"It was too expensive to replace the carpet and pay a fitter, which is why I did it myself – it's so much easier to clean now."

"£ 30 for painting (Leyland slate heavy-duty floor paint) £ 20 eBay kickboard vinyl stickers) £ 15 slip-resistant transparent stair grips (Amazon). Remains at the bottom of the screen and replaces the ramp [sic]. "

When other Facebook users asked her how she got such a professional finish, she added, "It took five minutes to sand them down.

"I kept the old paint on them and I just smoothed them with an orbital electric hand sander.

"I borrowed the sander, but I saw the same at Asda for £ 15.

"I stuck the stickers at the end of every step.

"If you zoom in, you should see them."
