Let $k \geq 3$. Then the $k$-Padovan sequence is a generalization of the Padovan sequence. The sequence's first $k$ terms are $0,0, \ldots, 0,1,1$. This paper identifies all repdigits that can be expressed as $k$-Padovan numbers in base $\eta$, where $2 \leq \eta \leq 10$, through the application of the theory of linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers and a modified version of the Baker-Davenport reduction method.
