Ian Thomas-Moore fired Tranmere into the area semi-finals of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy at the expense of Bury.
Tranmere scored with their first attack of the game as home goalkeeper Ritchie Branagan missed Enoch Showunmi's cross and Thomas-Moore volleyed into the net.
Rovers nearly made it 2-0 but John Welsh shot over before a fingertip save from Branagan denied Joss Labadie.
Bury had chances to force penalties but Steven Schumacher's free-kick went over and Lenell John-Lewis missed a header.
Tranmere manager Les Parry told BBC Radio Merseyside: "I haven't had three defeats on the bounce and I didn't want to start now.
"We didn't want to go out of two cup competitions in three days so it was really important that we won.
"We showed a little bit of resilience, fight and togetherness because towards the end they had a little bit of possession and put a lot of balls into our box."
