A full bath has more value than a half bath. The actual amount depends on location and comparable properties. In Manhattan in a prewar building a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment is much more desirable than 1.5 bath since the 1/2 bath does not function like a full bath. It is only a "powder room" since there is no shower or tub.

In general, you will not get the value back that you put into this type of improvement.
However, if you have a home that is a 1 1/2 bath and your competition in the area has 2+ baths it might be advisable to convert the bath in order to compete for the buyers.
