There are a lot of companies, which perform retipping and cartridge repair: - e. g.
Van Den Hul - Cartridge Repair, Modification and Re-Tipping: Available Services | Product (phono)
https://www.sound-smith.com/services/cartridge-rebuilding-retipping
Tonabnehmerservice.de | Tonabnehmerservice. An- und Verkauf und Wiederherstellung von B&O Systemen
Which company I should prefer?
Thank you for advices.

Van Den Hul will be more than you can get one new.
I have seen some on the bay at resonable prices
Sound Smirh with a comparable boron pipe will be 400$ plus shipping
Not cheap

If the results concerning sonic quality and second life time are better than in genuine condition are this level of cost fully acceptable.
Are there any experiences ?
Then Van Den Hul would be the one to use since he goes thru the whole cartridge himself along with his famous tip profile.
I was quoted about 700 clams and who knows how it will sound when done, but he seems to be the one who could pull it from the wreckage and optimize it
I have seen quite a few Sound Smith carts for sale over the years with low mileage on them and it makes you wonder why they are selling them?
A gamble non the less but at least you have an option since there isnt alot who rebuild Mc,s
If you liked the original, my take would be a new one from the factory.

Agree in general with Dave's post above, might also want to investigate Expert Stylus in the UK if you are considering a retip.
Yes, I forgot to mention them..,
I was quoted from Expert about 369-419$ USA dollars in Apr 2017
Their add says they do 2500 carts a year and from their response include the proper information you want to hear in a rebuild.
Very professional in reply at least.
