Quick One on Mortgage Payment Date

Hoping someone will be able to answer this query.
I currently pay my mortgage by direct debit on the 1st of each month. While I always do have enough money in the account to cover it, I was wondering how easy it would be to change the date I pay it to say the 2nd or 3rd of the month. Just incase my pay gets delayed and I don't have enough to cover it.
Will this add to the overall payment because im effectively extending the borrowing period albeit by a day?
Thanks

most are willing to adjust payment date- effect varies lender to lender- might mean end up paying 2 days interest on the payment amount each month
BUT ask, as might show on systems as late paymentAny posts on here are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as (financial) advice.0
