Annoyingly, I dropped my Pixel 5 yesterday, which has created a tiny
chip on the screen. It does not justify replacing the screen. I
wondered if a small chip can be polished out (by a professional) as I
believe can be done with car windscreens.

Well, don't they use an epoxy of the same refractive index as the glass,
maybe they do one for screens. However don't press too hard, they don't like it.

Possibly before you go down this route fit a plastic or tempered glass
screen protector which may disguise the chip.

Random ebay listing (maybe select a listing that gives two items for a
similar price

Note anything proud of your existing screen will result in an air bubble
under the protector but if your chip is has only indented the screen
then possibly you may not notice the chip under the protector. To see if something in the chip is proud of the surface run a razor blade over the
screen in much the same way as shown towards the end of the youtube video.

They fill chips with resin first. You didn't by any change fit a
tempered glass protection screen than can be removed and replaced?
