Yes. Depending on the strength of the time dilation, a repair may not be possible to complete before the journey is over.

But anyone capable of getting a ship near lightspeed would also have the physics and math knowledge necessary to calculate their level of time dilation, so they could make logical decisions regarding necessary repairs.
