Reinstall apps or turn apps back on:

On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Play Store app Google Play.

Tap Menu Menu and then My apps & games and then Library.
Tap the app you want to install or turn on.
Tap Install or Enable.

Except in this case, the Play Store app won't show in the Play Store. Actually, those directions can't be followed because the app that is needed is the one that was disabled.

For the OP. Go into Settings > Apps On that list are additional headers, one shows disabled apps. Select that list, select the disabled app and then re-enable it.

If you actually uninstalled it, go to GApps - The Open GApps Project, download the Pico version and install it.

I'm not so sure the app was actually uninstalled. If the Play Store was installed, it was likely a system app and CAN'T be removed. One of the functions of disabling a preinstalled app is to uninstall any updates that have been installed for that app since the last system update.

I still say that the Play Store is in the disabled app section and can be re-enabled and updated (which will likely happen in the background).
