Getting rid of bind weed is a long term job, not something you can do in one hit.
The simplest thing is to keep pulling it up when you see it, eventually it'll stop being able to replenish itself. But it'll take time.

Roundup weedkiller gel. Dab on underside of leaves. Repeat every couple of days until they are all gone.
As andyp says - it takes time.

Hi mate don't panick about bindweed if its in a lawn, the more you cut the grass it will disappear soonish, it will still be below the surface, all that topsoil will just be feeding it for a while,

I have a railway siding behind my house. It is a square mile rats nest of bindweed. It was in my garden too.
I attacked my garden with 40litres of the most heavy duty, unethical, weapons grade weed killer I could buy. Turned the whole thing to a dead patch.
Turned the earth.
Laid down two tonnes of top soil and laid a new lawn.
6 weeks later I have bind weed coming up through my new lawn.
Mother fucker.
I do not have green fingers.
What are my options?
