I think I've read back and forth discussions on this one. Should be interesting what it is this time round.

At itunes store only option is to update [some apps] they all show as downloaded only other option is Delete.

Now the apps no longer show 'will install' but just the word install, again greyed out.

Did a second reinstall on the iphone , now itunes had changed to showing ''install'' where it previously showed ''will install'' but still greyed out.

there is a huge difference.
At the App Store you will find a purchased option which will show all the apps you have purchased and allow you to download them again.

I'm not there to try this and yes, I encounter folk all the time that want a fix. Software, apps still have bugs. Maybe there's another way but what mrmacfixit posted looks to be in line with prior advice.
Since it didn't work, time to get to the service counter.
