In this paper, we study the renormalization of a three-dimensional quartic model on a compact connected Riemannian manifold with a boundary. We show that, in addition to the standard shift of the mass parameter, it is necessary to take into account boundary contributions involving singular coefficients. This indicates the need to extend the classical action within the framework of standard renormalization theory. The requirements of consistency regarding the gluing of manifolds lead to renormalization of an operator on the boundary.
