Good to hear it's sorted. 
But they're not cheap. For bigger repairs, you can remove the sleeping compartment canvas/net. We've put the details on how to do this (with photos) on our website here. Once it's off there are a lot of options for repair - DIY, seamstress, tent repairer. It makes a major fabric repair cheaper, because you won't need to take the bongo to a garage and ask a mechanic to remove it for you.
