Options for touching up Lick paint without buying full tins

Last year I painted a few rooms in two colours of Lick paint - went on nicely, looks good. I've now got a few areas where my child has made a mark, or I need to polyfilla a hole. I assumed I could just buy a tiny sample pot to touch up the paint, but nope, they only do sample stickers! I completely used up the big tins at the time and threw them away.

Do I have any options? I am assuming that getting a B&Q colour match in their smallest tin size won't properly match for a touch up? I will be so annoyed if I have to buy a massive £50 tin of each paint just for tiny touch ups!

Do you have a Brewers decorators centre nearby? They did me a Lick colour match sample size pot for about £3! They had all the colours loaded in the computer already.

I got a colour match for Coat paint at Brewers. I took the sample sticker and they matched that.

Oh we do! Was the colour/finish match close enough for touch up?

Or, order it, take some put and sell the rest on fb market place. Not as cheap as a colour match, but at least it will match properly.
