    @Glenn Maxwell

    After restoring the Home page from recycle bin, you should go to Site contents -> Site pages -> Select the Home page -> Make it as homepage.

    It should work since URL is same as it was before deletion. But go to settings , navigation ( Or quick Launch) and check out if the link is correct for the navigation item. here you will see the URL user are directed to for each item in left pane.
