It's the same as when your pressure hull and bulkheads are damaged, and then repaired. Even though they are "repaired", they are not as good as they were before and your crush depth has been compromised. All you can do is be as efficient as possible and hope it is enough to get home.

The only way to completely repair something is going to your home port. Other than that, it's only a field job.
It would be the ultimate mod that could point out repaired but still compromised parts, for instance by displaying them yellow in the damagescreen after repairing. Now I honestly don't know if my batteries had been damaged, or my diesels, or my tanks are leaking, even if they aren't even present in the screen.
