my ipad has lost the app store icon

Try restarting the iPad.

Restore a built-in app that you removed

1. On your iOS device, go to the App Store.
2. Search for the app. Make sure that you use the exact name of the app. Find the correct name of built-in apps.
3. Tap to restore the app.
4. Wait for the app to restore, then open it from your Home screen.

The App Store app, though built in, is one of them that cannot be removed.

Try a forced restart.

Reset Device

Reset – iPhone 7

Hard reset

How do I do that?

How'd you do what?  A restart?  See the links Eric posted above.

But I haven’t got the App Store icon to do this.

You don't need the App Store to do the reset.

How do I reset?

The last 3 lines of my post are links to articles that tell you how. Click on the link to read the article.

I tried that still no App Store icon

Hi. Make sure you don't have Restrictions that prevent installing apps, Settings > General > Restrictions.
