I used a Park tyre boot to fix my groundsheet.   I also have some McNett Tenacious tape but have not yet needed to use it.

Duc tape

Depends on what it is made from - polyester or nylon and if coated or not. Try outdoor shop.

Put masking tape under the tear/hole and blob Seamgrip over to make the repair.
When set turn over, remove the masking tape and blob a bit more Seamgrip on the other side of the tear/hole.

This has worked for me mending groundsheets, stuff sacks and panniers.
