A repairing method for an endoscope includes inserting into a cylindrical
heating element a repair part of at least one endoscope having a resin
material applied on an outer peripheral surface of the endoscope, causing
the heating element to generate heat by supplying power to the heating
element in order to radiate infrared rays from the heating element toward
the center of the cylinder, and drying/hardening the resin material in
the repair part by using the infrared rays radiated from the heating
element.
