I am completely new to databases Shocked and Oracle but have been tasked with merging two dBs, which have identical tables but different data - is there an easy/straight-forward way to perform this task so that all data is available from the one dB?

NO, no easy way; especially for anyone who does not know database to begin with.

As you are new to Oracle: are these really two databases, or do you have two schemas (within the same database)?

Both were generated from separate import dmp files into db1 and db2 - I want to be able to merge the data from both db1 and db2 into a new db3 - I believe the schema is the same for both db1 and db2 (i.e. the same tables etc but with differing data).

I assume on the first import I do a FULL import and then on the second only the data (using the CONTENT parameter)?

Use SCHEMAS parameter to only export your schemas.
Use TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=APPEND on the second import.

A few steps forward and several back!
On the second import I get multiple ORA-31693 errors, which I presume is due to identical data within a table, unfortunately the 'new' data within the table gets skipped and the process continues onto the next table. Perhaps I did not explain myself too well in the first place, I have two dB export files which has a lot of common data between them, but each table may/may not have slight differences - how can I get round loading data from these tables without the import skipping them.

As Michel said, look into the TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION parameter of DataPump.
