How??

In particular: it's a square, bi-fold door enclosure. It looks like
this B&Q one http://tinyurl.com/333c7u
(http://preview.tinyurl.com/333c7u), but I don't think it is, as it
may have been an original from when the house was built 7 years ago.
The problem is, the doors are held on by screws on the runners top and
bottom. The bottom runner is therefore inaccessible as the tray is in
the way.

I can't see a way of removing the bottom screws without dismantling
the whole enclosure, which is a bit much, seeing as all I wanted to do
was re-grout, mastic around the tray, and give all those scummy,
hidden crevices a bit of a clean.

A photo of the runner etc might help.

When removing a vaguely similar shower door last weekend I removed the
top part of the door frame ( held in by one screw each side accessible
form above), and then lifted the door out of the frame. Watch out
they're flippin heavy when unsupported.

I can't really see the runner mechanism on the end of the door closely
enough. I would guess that it detaches from the door in some way.

Yes, by a 40mm long screw on the bottom of the runner, which is 25mm
above the shower tray. If the bottom rail is anything like the top,
it is screwed in to the sides of the uprights, so one would have to
remove the frame from the wall. The fixed end of the door mechanism
appears to be screwed into the bottom rail from its underneath. The
doors must have been put in place before the whole cubicle was fixed
to the wall!

Could you not take the top roller off the door, and then lift the bottom
one out of its channel?
