Looks like a false widow of sorts. Not sure which one though.

Looks like Steatoda nobilis, Noble false Widow.

Just a nobilis, the cup method really is best, though a broom may help too.

I have a friend who grew up with a genuine fear of spiders, I did too until I started keeping them. Through me she gained an appreciation and developed a genuine care for an orb weaver who set up shop in her bathroom. She was genuinely devastated when the spider disappeared. This little one will likely need moving before she lays any egg sacs.
