Cost to of replacing the screen on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 SM-T860

Hi everyone,

My Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 SM-T860 stopped working a couple of weeks ago. I suspect my daughter sat on it. There's no visible damage but when I tried to turn it on there was a speck of light and some lines of light and that was it.
I've gone through the usual troubleshooting and took it to a mobile repair shop where I was quoted £300 for the repair. It's a lot of money, but it's been a great tablet and was expensive when new.
Has anyone had the screen replaced on this same model? How much did you pay?

Many thanks.

    Accidental damage cover from your house insurance or bank account maybe?

    Good idea, I'll need to check if I have this with my home insurance. But I suspect my excess might be around £300...

    Any more than £160 & you are starting to chuck money down the drain.

    That's what I'm thinking, but if I was going to buy a new tablet of similar spec it would cost more than £300.
