The paper 'Is every strong lens model unhappy in its own way? Uniform modelling of a sample of 13 quadruply+ imaged quasars' was published in MNRAS, 483, 4, 5649–5671 (2019). The coordinate values of the image positions in table 4 were wrongly printed due to a clerical error. At a later stage of writing the manuscript, we have changed the zero-point definition of the lens coordinate systems, but the relative image positions were not accounted for this change of definition while printing out table 4. We provide the updated Table 4 below. This error does not impact any other results of the paper in any way, except for the table itself. We thank Collin Werner and Paul Schechter for helping us identify this error.
