It would help to clarify whether it's the upper clarion B and C or the lower clarion B and C (a beginner could refer to either as "high").
Also is B sharp, C flat, or both?
How are the notes 12th below with same fingerings?
Depending on what exactly is happening, it could be a blocked tone hole, a missing pad, gross misadjustment, etc. It could be the player's mistake for high (thumb) C since this loses support of the left hand and beginners often play it flat.

Obviously not all repairers can do this but it is not extremely rare. It is possible to make new keys, either from spare parts or from scratch if necessary. You just need the equipment and experience... except the first time
Ordering from the factory is often not an option if you need a different shape/length key, or might not be available at all, not practical depending on your location (often the case for me), etc. New keys are more often added rather than replaced so there is also no standard key to order in those cases.
