I usually repot when the root system is good enough to hold most of the compost together. Squeeze the container while tipping it and jiggling it a bit, and the whole rootball should slide neatly out on to your hand. Use your other hand to put some soil into the base of the new pot (ideally do this before taking the plant out of the old pot, but thinking ahead isn't my strong point), place the rootball on it, fill with soil and firm down.
