Options when your fix is higher than the SVR?

Hi all, just looking to see if there are any options available  to me, or if Mortgage Advisors have any tools in their armoury for when a fixed deal goes above the company's SVR? 
I have no problems with the  current fix which is nearly 3yrs in of the original 5yr fix. I made my choices, and I'm happy to live with it!

However I am curious if there are any options over and above paying the early leaving charge - especially where it's now above the SVR. Maybe something where competing mortgage lenders will pay part of the fee to get business? I don't know. 

Any info greatly appreciated.
