Engineers had been on the scene of the fault throughout the night and hoped to restore power originally by 10pm.
It was then hoped power would be back on for all homes by 5am, then midday, but power was finally restored by 2pm.
A specialist cable repair team has been called in to help fix the fault.
It impacted homes in RG88DP, RG88AE, and RG88DL in Purley on Thames.
SSE has said 'If you need more information, please call us on 105 or send us a message on Facebook or Twitter (@ssencommunity) and quote reference 'FV1118'
