I frequently repair tools. If a handle breaks, I have a bamboo plant that I periodically harvest from that makes surprisingly good handles for e.g. garden shovels. My wife had a pair of small scissors with a broken handle that I repaired with lashings saturated with CA glue. Stuff like shower mats can be sunned out to kill mold, but they will eventually just need to be thrown out.
