Chinese Elm losing all leaves after repotting!

Hi there,

Can anyone shed some light on this one...
I keep a number of bonsai trees, have done for years, but every now and again I get unlucky/do something wrong, which I've clearly done here.

I repotted my Chinese Elm, which I've had for a good few years and repotted once before, however, this time, for some reason, it's lost nearly all of it's leaves and is looking very sorry for itself.
They were dry very quickly and starting falling off in around a week.

I've trimmed back anything that looks unhealthy to encourage any remaining growth, but it's still not looking that promising.
It's actually also happened with a Japanese Holly at the same time.

Any ideas?
I've attached some pics of the Chinese Elm

Any thoughts/ideas are greatly appreciated!

Where are you located that you consider Chinese Elm an "indoor" bonsai? I consider it an outdoor bonsai since it's hardy down to 20 degrees or so.
