First file your Service Tax returns till date and then go to ACES website and do surrender process.
Take print of the document after surrendering and submit it physically to department alongwith last 2year Balance Sheet, Bank Statement, ST2, and copy of returns filed. You also need to give declaration as below on your letterhead:
DECLARATION AND SURRENDER OF ST-2
To, The Supreintendent of Service Tax
Sub: Surrender of Service Tax Registration ST-2 Registration Ref: ST-2 No. _____________
I/We ________ Partner/proprietor/director of M/S ________________ situated at Mumbai hereby declare that I/We/are/were engaged in providing the services, namely _________ from the abovesaid premises.

PS: You can do it all yourself but I would suggest you to appoint some CA as there is late return penalty applicable. He may help you file returns under VCES to avoid penalty.
