I just found last year's strawberry plants which I grew in a basket. The plants look quite healthy (considering they have been wallowing in a heap of rubbish in the garden). If I repot will I get fruit or should I get new ones?

Compost 'em. A year or two old and they won't produce as much fruit.

Ta Naz - luckily I also have just started my compost bin!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buried the end of the shoots in the spring and cut with snips a few weeks later to clone.
the new plantlets will be fine repot new compost and shove the old plants in an area you don't use much any fruit they do make will be welcomed by the birds
All good answers, mine was based on the fact I don't like strawberries all that much, lol

Rob and Rowan - do you mean the runners? There doesn't appear to be any runners on them yet, but I assume they will come?

Got my first tomato plants up! Yayyyyyyyy!
should have runners by now as they should have formed last year....unless it is a very late fruiting variety
Runners usually start in September and start to perk up at this time of year. If I were you I would pot them up and wait and see. They should produce some fruit but not a lot so maybe a few new plants might be an idea too...
