This is a mold repairing method for removing a resin material deposited on a mold, of which the surface is a porous film with a plurality of recesses that have been created through anodization. The mold repairing method includes the steps of: (I) removing the resin material that is exposed on the surface of the mold over the plurality of recesses without performing atmospheric pressure plasma processing; and (II) removing at least partially the resin material that is still left inside the plurality of recesses by the atmospheric pressure plasma processing, after the step (I) has been performed, thereby recovering the original function of the mold.
