Narrative:
Aircraft X was vectored for an RNAV approach into TDZ. He was 3000 MSL when he was turned on to the approach. The aircraft descended to 2300 on their own; which is the altitude the aircraft should be at for the FAF. Prior to the FAF; the aircraft said they were having trouble with the approach and requested vectors out for the approach again. I vectored the aircraft out for the approach again; but didn't climb them from 2300. The MVA where they were is 2300; but the aircraft had to pass into an area where the MVA is 2400 in order to get vectored onto the approach. This didn't occur to me until the aircraft was a few miles into the higher MVA. It was an unusual situation and probably something that will be incorporated into the facility specific recurrent training.
