I've found some woodworm in the ends of two joists under the bathroom floor. It looks old, but it has caused quite a bit of the joist to crumble. The bath also leaked a bit in the past, so there might have been some water damage too, even though everything is now absolutely tinder dry.

I'm debating whether to treat the joists and then and replace new floorboards, or to replace joists (nightmare).

If I go down the treatment route, which is the best stuff to brush onto the joists, both to deal with the woodworm and to harden up the timber?

You could sister the existing damaged joists and treat the woodworm yourself or get a company in.
