I've learned that 来不及 means that I can't make something at a specific time. I've most often seen it used in the sense that "I can't make the appointment at all". How do you indicate to someone that you won't be able to make the appointment at the prescribed time, but you still want to meet and will be just a little later?
My best guess would be: "我晚一点到吧。"
There are many ways you can say this. Some examples:
You can also say it your way. It is not really necessarily, but I would add 要 or 会. I also wouldn't use the 吧 in this sentence. So something like
What you suggested works, but you can still use 来不及 to say you won't be able to make a certain time if you use it in the right context (it doesn't have to mean "I can't be there at all"). Just put the time you can't make right before 来不及.
For instance, to express "I can't be there by 6, but a little later would work" you could say:
6点可能来不及，但晚一点就没问题。
To be honest, you're asking for a literal translation.
In the culture of most western countries, we'd say "I'm going to be a little late." In China, it might be 我快到了。
不好意思，我会晚一点到 - Sorry, I'll be a bit late.
