If your partner is exercising treaty rights in the UK and you are married/in civil partnership (same gender marriage), you can apply for a Residence Card. It doesn't matter if you apply before or after your current visa expires. The immigration history is not relevant for such application.

I'm not familiar with the procedure now as you are not required to ask for a permission from the HO to marry any more but you should check if you can marry with a visitor visa.
