I mean the Tories couldn't get more votes.

Votes, no.

Seats ? I fear they could.
With Labour, the two lots of Nationalists, Lib Dems and Greens, there are plenty of places for the Tory votes to go without the Tories actually losing a seat.

I am reminded of the four-way marginal Inverness, Nairn and Lachaber seat in the 1992 general election https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverness,_Nairn_and_Lochaber_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_1990s where the winning candidate polled 26.0% (yes twenty-six percent) of the vote.
