    Depends on the type of mortgage you have.
    Best thing to do is speak to your lender and ask!
    If you are looking to change deal/lender then when you remortgage you simply choose which type you want - interest only or repayment.

    AS DougK said really, if you are Remortgaging, you can switch the repayment type at the same time, or depending on lender, you would normally expect to pay an administrative charge of approx £50 or £75 to alter the method of repayment, even during a Redemption charge period.
