Can i get a better mortgage deal?

Last year myself and the OH bought a flat for the first time. In the end we went through Halifax at a rate of 6.01%. Gulp i know! Now the House was then valued at £84000 since then we have done a few bits and is now valued at £90000.
Our mortage repayment is about £470 a month. We used all our savings to put as a deposit to the mortgage. Now with everything that is going on we would like to try for a better rate. However we now have no savings as we have been constantly spending in the house.

Is that us at a lost end? Or can we see light? The early repayment charge is £3300....

Please if anyone can suggest anything..
