There is new option to create custom toolbar. I do not know how you get there if you didn't touch anything but that should be a problem. Go to Edit > Toolbar and click on Restore Defaults button then click Done button.

Mine did the same. Restore to Default as in the suggested answer did not work for me. Here's how I fixed it. Edit>Toolbar. Scroll down to the paint bucket that for me was showing up as if it WAS on my toolbar even though it wasn't. What WAS showing up on my toolbar was the 3D paintbucket and the other tools under it were missing (the gradient and the paint bucket). So, I just dragged that 3D paint bucket over to the right side of the column so it wasn't selected to show in my toolbar. Clicked Done. Now my paint bucket and gradient are showing up again.

Jane asked if you are using Photoshop CC, and that it is up to date?

Do you have these three dots near the bottom of your Toolbar?

Or the same option at the bottom of your Edit menu?  If you don't, and you are using the current version of Photoshop, then something is broken.

Thanks Bojan. I wish Adobe would be more careful about this kind of stuff. I assume 99.9% of us use Photoshop for work and shouldn't have to spend our time researching how to fix nucklehead stuff like this.
