Step paint?

I have 5 steps to my front door.
I normally paint them black with Wilkinsons Step and Tile paint every couple of years. Wilkos shelves are empty and I've tried ordering other brands online but this paint is as rare as hen's teeth. 
Can I ask, is there another paint i could use instead?
Exterior gloss?

Does this specifically relate to the Wilkinsons Step and Tile paint or are all paints on high demand? Just thinking where the country is at present, more people than normal are turning their hands to DIY at home and this may be a reason why that particular brand is hard to come by?

More people are painting their own homes at the minute which is why this paint is sold out. I just wanted to know if there was an alternative i could use.

That is really what I was getting at... more people are doing more DIY at home so you may even find alternatives in a similar situation. Would something like "Ronseal DHDSPB250 Diamond Hard Doorstep Paint Black" work, which is available on Amazon? I would provide the link but need a few posts before I can do that. The exact Amazon title is "Ronseal DHDSPB250 Diamond Hard Doorstep Paint Black 250ml(Packaging may differ)"

^This is the stuff I've used on my doorstep and it's holding up quite good since I last painted 2 years ago.

I'm gonna check it out. I found quite a few online but when I got to the final stage of ordering it stated that the buyer wasn't selling at this time because of the current situation 🙈
