What would you do here?

[Adam1991]

I’m little bit stuck on what to do here, should i cut the architrave to fit around the unpainted bit.

OR

Cut along the penciled line on the unpainted bit to fit the architrave in?

I would leave the existing part of the stair untouched and cut the architrave.
Fit a bit of trim with filler to the top of the stringer to avoid replacing the whole strip.

It's not that clear but you could remove a bit of the unpainted timber to allow relatively thin sheet material to continue the architrave - possibly adding some packing on the LHS?
Or just use something like 12mm to create a small upstand /block that looks like a design feature- i.e. Sticking out

Also if you can't replicate the trim on the top of the stretcher, because it's a small area, you could shape something close and sand it to blend in

As Tigercubrider says an architrave block could be your answer,

The block sounds good but i’m more concerned about cutting that bit of the stairs...won’t it affect the integrity of the stairs?

The block can be fitted so it stands proud of the architrave as a feature so no need to cut the stairs.

Ahh i see what you mean now so it covers up the joins

Not a decorative 'architrave ' block but what I would call a plinth block ,which look best at the junction of skirting with architraves anyway in my oinion , and would work at junction of stair string with architrave.

The thing Tiger was talking about is known as a plinth block/architrave block and was commonly used to cover the inevitable difference in thickness of the architrave and skirting board where they come together; usually a bit taller than the skirting board, and a little wider than the architrave.

Think this has overlapped with my comments but that is exactly what I meant.
