A fitting method is for fitting a material to be repaired and a repair patch to be adhesively bonded to the material at adhesive surfaces, each adhesive surface having at least two or more of curved portions. The fitting method includes measuring a shape of the material; measuring a shape of the repair patch; dividing repair patch shape measurement data acquired at measuring the shape of repair patch into pieces of divided data each including one or less of the curved portions; performing, at the adhesive surfaces, fitting processing of the pieces of divided data acquired at dividing the repair patch shape measurement data to material-to-be-repaired shape measurement data acquired at measuring the shape of material; and calculating a gap amount between the material-to-be-repaired shape measurement data and repair patch shape fitting data acquired from the fitting processing at the adhesive surfaces.
