Asking clients for more time

Hey guys. Need some veteran advice. I'm working on a project and due to some illnesses within the clients team I received the required files extremely late. I told them that I will need more time but they are refusing to change the deadline. They understand that the printer needs a set amount of time but keep shrinking mine back. How do I be more firm and tell them they need to shift the deadline without sounding like a whiny baby and alienating them?

Tell them the mess up was on their part and the original estimate is void now. If they want you to meet their deadline, rush costs apply and you need to hire help. Which you can actually do or just work your ass off and make more on the job.
Just a thought
