Tom,
I'd add three suggestions to Bill's excellent post:
A.) put a prefabricated access panel in at least one side for easy access to the chain locker in the future

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Port bow locker floor
In Fort Lauderdale, this cost us +/- US$1000. One guy--about 12 hours over 4 days. The only short cut we took was to skip a layer of cosmetic gel coat on the bottom of the locker.

I would dry it out thoroughly and then glass right over it coving up the sides of the locker. Solid permanent fix.
