It may not be an easy fix, but there are different methods you can try. If you can remove all the old surface, you will have your base to start with. Options are sanding it smooth, priming and painting, applying a new film or surface, such as laminate, contact paper, beadboard, etc. If it is particle board under the peeling surface, you may save some time and frustration covering it. I am sure there are many other options, but those are a few to consider.
This is what I ended up doing with mine Cynthia.

I needed to do something, they were driving me crazy. It's been about 5 years and they still look fantastic! I did the same to the kitchen cabinets also. I think Mod Podge will hold up to just about anything!
Just an idea.
Wishing you luck!

Hello. Is it just the flat outside edge of the shelf that’s damaged? I ask this because you can buy replacements edging- I’ve replaced that you apply with an warm iron.
