Does repairing items in Minecraft get more expensive?

Yes, repairing items in Minecraft gets progressively more expensive on an anvil due to a "prior work penalty" that increases with each use, eventually leading to the "Too Expensive!" message where you can't repair it anymore. This penalty grows exponentially, so it's best to add enchantments (like Mending) and combine books efficiently before applying them to your main gear to keep costs down.
