The fact it's small means it's not enough to overcome the larger majorities in Scotland & Wales. We're not electing a English Government. We're electing a British one so having a small majority in England doesn't help them. The Tories need a much larger majority in England in order to win.
The prospect of the Labour/SNP deal is what the Tories are using to get England to vote Tory but they've been doing that for a few weeks now and the polls aren't moving yet. A collapse in UKIP support and better Liberal Democrat polls numbers is the best chance the Tories have.
