Which version of GarageBand did you have?
If you had GarageBand 10 or GarageBand '11 and it came preinstalled on a Mac without installer DVDs, look at the App Store on the Purchases tab (the fourth tab), not the main AppStore page . Reinstall GarageBand from there. The button to the right of GarageBand should be showing "Install".
If GarageBand is missing from your Purchases History, have a look at this link: Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support
If your GarageBand version is older and came on installer DVDs, search for those installation media. Then you cannot reinstall from the App Store for free, because there you can only download the latest version GarageBand 10.1.1, and that is not a free update for GarageBand '11 but a new major release.
