Check the breakers again, just because they don't show red doesn't mean it's not blown, wiggle the switch and I bet you will find one that is weak

I might suggest that you leave the upstairs bathroom where it is, and add a second one downstairs. This would add value to your home. In addition, if you leave the upstairs without a bathroom, and there are bedrooms upstairs, and you try to sell your home, some people won't want to buy it if the only bathroom is downstairs - especially if they have young kids. As for the costs - that depends. The cheapest option is to put the new downstairs bathroom somewhere where there are pipes already near it - so that's either directly underneath the upstairs bathroom, or else right next to the current kitchen. As others said, the plumbing could get expensive if he has to put in a new sewer pipe. But I'd estimate for plumbing alone, this could cost between $1,200 and $5,000, depending on what you're having the plumber do - the complexity of it. Do you also need to construct walls and put in a door? That will add costs.

When a breaker "pops" it doesn't go all the way to the "OFF" position. As a matter of fact some types will look like they're still all the way in the ON position.
Here's how to tell if a breaker has popped. Push each breaker towards the ON position. The ones that have not blown will not move at all.
Any breaker that has popped will move a little bit. Turn that breaker all the way off and then turn it back to on.

Some breakers, when they are tripped, will not show as off. To reset - turn that breaker to the off position, then back to the on position.
Should take care of the problem.

Check the GFI reset buttons on the bathroom power outlets. Sometimes they are wired together and resetting one in a different part of the house allows a circuit to complete. If this does solve the problem, consider having an electrician take anything other than outlets out of that circuit. no need for overhead lights to be included.

Steve C has the answer. By turning each breaker ALL THE WAY OFF will reset it. Of course if it pops off again you'll know it and have a problem.
Good luck ! ! !

I agree that this is probably more of a GFI reset issue than your breaker. Look at your bathroom outlets for the GFI reset button.

Check the receptacle in the bathroom. Its probably a GFI receptacle, push the reset button on it. The power should come back on.
