A method of repairing a defect in a skin (1) of an aircraft wing made from a composite material is disclosed. The wing has a stringer (3) attached to an inner surface of the skin and the method comprises the steps of: cutting a section of stringer from the skin in the vicinity of the defect; positioning a repair plate (10) on the inner surface over the defect so that it extends between opposing cut ends (9) of the stringer; positioning a stringer repair part (16) on the repair plate, the stringer repair part being of a length sufficient to overlap each cut end of the stringer; attaching the repair plate to the skin; and, attaching the stringer repair part to the stringer in a region of overlap at each cut end.
