Ian - quite normal after draining the coolant for a pump / rad change. You may find it will go down some more as the air bubbles get expelled from the system.
Did the workshop replace the coolant or just fill up with the old stuff? I ask because you have to be a little careful with what coolant you top up with. I would ask the mechanic what he used and go from there.
