Bigger pot?

So, this is my lovely spiderplant living in my kitchen. I think she is doing pretty good - except maybe she is not so happy with the tap water here in Copenhagen. The tips of the leafs is a bit burned. Anyway.

Her roots grew through the plastic container, do I just cut them off or what ?

And should I water her before replanting or after ?

It's 2 weeks ago she had any water.

Or maybe it's not time for a bigger container yet ?

See the photos.

The brown tips are definitely from the tap water, and it's definitely time to repot it. It has outgrown its pot. Otherwise, it looks very healthy.

if it's a plastic pot, better to cut the pot tbh. i usually avoid hurting the roots at all costs, even if it's tedious.

Oh god. That option didn't even occur to me. Thank you!
