Repair or replace rim tape?

On inspecting a flat I recently had, on my hybrid bike, I saw that my tube had a tiny cut. Looking at the rim, I see that one of the spoke holes had a sharp piece sticking out, cutting through the rim tape and the tube, I’ve removed the sharp metal piece and lightly filed the area smooth. My question is if I need to totally replace the rim tape or can I get away with just sticking a short piece of rim tape to that area? If the latter, could I get away with using common household tape such as Gorilla tape or even electrical tape? The tires are inflated to around 50-55 psi.
