The diminutive softens a request for a bit more time, as in 'un ratito más': warm, not a real change of terms. Sucre speech loves diminutives: 'conversamos un ratito' makes a placement chat sound short and easy.
A polite softener, not an exact time: it can mean a few minutes or much longer. If you have class, or need a day or an hour, ask for an approximate time.
