Mobio introduces advanced screen repair technology in UK

Screen damage remains top repair issue

Cracked screens continue to be the most frequent and frustrating form of smartphone damage in the UK, affecting nearly half of users during the lifespan of their devices. Mobio’s rollout of Screentech, originally a Greek company, directly addresses this challenge by providing a scalable, software-driven system that simplifies high-volume screen refurbishment.

Technology preserves original screen components

Unlike traditional repairs that replace entire display units, Screentech separates damaged glass from the functioning display components and reassembles the screen with new glass. Precision equipment and integrated software ensure a consistent process, reducing both e-waste and costs. By retaining original parts, especially in high-value devices like the Apple iPhone, the technology delivers improved margins and better sustainability outcomes.

Partnership enhances circular repair efforts

Mobio Director Chris Zammett sees the innovation as a leap forward in both service and sustainability. Apkudo Co-Founder Josh Matthews notes that the solution not only extends device life but also helps reduce environmental impact through high-quality component recovery.

Conclusion

Replacing damaged glass is an excellent method to preserve the original screen, offering a result that’s virtually indistinguishable from a brand-new display. While the process is relatively time-consuming and similarly priced, the quality makes it worthwhile. It's especially effective for upgrading a grade C or B device to grade A—provided the housing is also in a similar condition. Compared to polishing or buffing, glass replacement consistently delivers a superior finish.
