I'd say just buy a new 3DS (if you do the XL is way better!)

Because if you do send it in it will cost as much as a new one, except you will probably lose all your save data, streetpass data etc on it, because all repairs like this employs lazy people who don't give a damn about your data.

Buy a new one and do a System Transfer, if your upper screen doesn't work it's fine because all the actions you need to do are on the lower screen I remember.

Not sure if I want to buy a new 3DS if it's costing me another €180... I mean, if a couple of rain drops already kill the system and they're asking €180 for repair they can honestly go fuck themselves. 

I've had cellphones in the washing machine that still came out ok... 

Well, if a screen is broken it will probably cost at least 70 % of the original price to replace it, I'm fairly certain :(

 

On a sidenote, I once had a cell phone in the washing machine too, but I wasn't as lucky, the SIM card looked like a leaked battery and that spread over the whole phone.
