I've heard you can make KCl03 from bleach
(sodiumhypoclorite 4% solution) by heating it
and then adding KCl to the boiling solution.
I thought that if I didn't added KCl I would get NaCl03 instead of KCl03 - is it right?

Yes!
3Na-OCl-->Na-O-ClO2 + 2NaCl

Are Sodium or Potassium Chlorate soluble in water? If so... how would you seperate NaCl from NaClO3 or KClO3?

With the calcium hypochlorite/potassium chloride procedure,the KCl03 crystallizes out when the(filtered)solution cools(because it's less soluble)and the salt stays in solution.

Solubility is in the order:
NaCl>KCl>NaClO3>KClO3
That means NaCl is more soluble than KClO3!Water will dissolve more grams of NaCl than NaClO3.
