Mobile phone repairs

I have been very silly and damaged my phone (xperia z3 compact). Can anyone recommend anywhere where I can get it repaired? (preferably somewhere that gives free quotes before sending away). The phone got a little bit of water in it and the ambient light sensor and proximity sensor have stopped working. Further, the back glass has cracked.

i presume you have tried taking the back off, battery out and just leaving it to dry out first? Often that used to work

The phone is sealed so I can't take the back out. It is supposed to be water proof (IP68) so I assume one of the flaps was not closed correctly. When I noticed water behind the glass I turned the phone off and placed it in a warm(ish) and dry area until no more water was visible but that does not seem to have worked
